Nepal’s schools fail to provide students the resources they need. Only 43%of students pass the School Leaving Certificate (SLC) exam. The SLC is equivalent to an American high school diploma and is required for higher education and many job opportunities. Many parents send their kids to tuition centers, but these places are costly -- and quite frankly, uninspiring.

Our aim is to build a Learning House welcoming to all, regardless of income or background. By combining the comfort of coffee houses (found widely throughout Nepal), and offering services similar to those found in tuition centers, the Learning House will provide a vibrant environment that fosters education, leadership and community.
